Book Synopsis Children and the Good Life by : Sabine Andresen
Download or read book Children and the Good Life written by Sabine Andresen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2009, an inspiring international conference was held at Bielefeld on the topic "Children and the Good Life: New Challenges for Research on Children." The focus was on how we can define and measure a "good life" for children growing up in the modern world. This tied in with discussions on how convincing universalistic theories are, what research on children can contribute, and how children themselves can be integrated into the research process and debates on the "good life." Discourses and the production of knowledge on the "good life" or "well-being" require a guiding idea or a theoretical frame. This frame can come from the feminist ethic of care or from the Human and Children's Rights Convention, from the idea of welfare, or from the Capability Approach.

Book Synopsis Young Citizens and New Media by : Peter Dahlgren
Download or read book Young Citizens and New Media written by Peter Dahlgren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book integrates four distinct topics: young people, citizenship, new media, and learning processes. When taken together, these four topics merge to define an arena of social and research attention that has become compelling in recent years. The general international concern expressed of declining democratic engagement and the role of citizenship today becomes all the more acute when it turns to younger people. At the same time, there is growing attention being paid to the potential of new media – especially internet and mobile telephony – to play a role in facilitating newer forms of political participation. It is clear that many of the present manifestations of ‘new politics’ in the extra parliamentarian domain, not only make sophisticated use of such media, but are indeed highly dependent on them. With an impressive array of contributors, this book will appeal to those interested in a number of spheres, including media and cultural studies, political science, pedagogy, and sociology.
Book Synopsis Ageing and Technology by : Emma Domínguez-Rué
Download or read book Ageing and Technology written by Emma Domínguez-Rué and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2016-01-31 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The booming increase of the senior population has become a social phenomenon and a challenge to our societies, and technological advances have undoubtedly contributed to improve the lives of elderly citizens in numerous aspects. In current debates on technology, however, the »human factor« is often largely ignored. The ageing individual is rather seen as a malfunctioning machine whose deficiencies must be diagnosed or as a set of limitations to be overcome by means of technological devices. This volume aims at focusing on the perspective of human beings deriving from the development and use of technology: this change of perspective - taking the human being and not technology first - may help us to become more sensitive to the ambivalences involved in the interaction between humans and technology, as well as to adapt technologies to the people that created the need for its existence, thus contributing to improve the quality of life of senior citizens.

Book Synopsis The International status of education about the Holocaust by : Carrier, Peter
Download or read book The International status of education about the Holocaust written by Carrier, Peter and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do schools worldwide treat the Holocaust as a subject? In which countries does the Holocaust form part of classroom teaching? Are representations of the Holocaust always accurate, balanced and unprejudiced in curricula and textbooks? This study, carried out by UNESCO and the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research, compares for the first time representations of the Holocaust in school textbooks and national curricula. Drawing on data which includes countries in which there exists no or little information about representations of the Holocaust, the study shows where the Holocaust is established in official guidelines, and contains a close textbook study, focusing on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of representations and historical narratives. The book highlights evolving practices worldwide and thus provides education stakeholders with comprehensive documentation about current trends in curricula directives and textbook representations of the Holocaust. It further formulates recommendations that will help policy-makers provide the educational means by which pupils may develop Holocaust literacy.
Download or read book Hybrid Identities written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining theoretical and empirical pieces, this book explores the emerging theoretical work seeking to describe hybrid identities while also illustrating the application of these theories in empirical research.The sociological perspective of this volume sets it apart. Hybrid identities continue to be predominant in minority or immigrant communities, but these are not the only sites of hybridity in the globalized world. Given a compressed world and a constrained state, identities for all individuals and collective selves are becoming more complex. The hybrid identity allows for the perpetuation of the local, in the context of the global. This book presents studies of types of hybrid identities: transnational, double consciousness, gender, diaspora, the third space, and the internal colony. Contributors include: Keri E. Iyall Smith, Patrick Gun Cuninghame, Judith R. Blau, Eric S. Brown, Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Salvador Vidal-Ortiz, Melissa F. Weiner, Bedelia Nicola Richards, Keith Nurse, Roderick Bush, Patricia Leavy, Trinidad Gonzales, Sharlene Hesse-Biber, Emily Brooke Barko, Tess Moeke-Maxwell, Helen Kim, Bedelia Nicola Richards, Helene K. Lee, Alex Frame, Paul Meredith, David L. Brunsma and Daniel J. Delgado.
Book Synopsis Migration, Religion and Early Childhood Education by : Ednan Aslan
Download or read book Migration, Religion and Early Childhood Education written by Ednan Aslan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it is rarely given sufficient consideration in either scholarly or political debates, early childhood education plays a crucial role in the integration process of young immigrants in European countries, since it not only enables the children to be integrated into society, both linguistically and culturally, but it also provides their parents with the opportunity, through their children, to view the society more directly and to reflect on their own values in the encounter, or to potentially seek new orientations. The quality of young migrants’ educational achievements, which have repeatedly caused current political debates in European countries, should not be considered independently of the elementary education measures since they are very closely related. Prof. Dr. Ednan Aslan is Chair of Islamic Religious Education at the Institute for Islamic Theological Studies at the University of Vienna.
Book Synopsis Research Handbook on Childhoodnature by : Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles
Download or read book Research Handbook on Childhoodnature written by Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 1868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a compilation of research in Childhoodnature and brings together existing research themes and seminal authors in the field alongside new cutting-edge research authored by world-class researchers drawing on cross-cultural and international research data. The underlying objectives of the handbook are two-fold: • Opening up spaces for Childhoodnature researchers; • Consolidating Childhoodnature research into one collection that informs education. The use of the new concept ‘Childhoodnature’ reflects the editors’ and authors’ underpinning belief, and the latest innovative concepts in the field, that as children are nature this should be redefined in this integrating concept. The handbook will, therefore, critique and reject an anthropocentric view of nature. As such it will disrupt existing ways of considering children and nature and reject the view that humans are superior to nature. The work will include a Childhoodnature Companion featuring works by children and young people which will effectively enable children and young people to not only undertake their own research, but also author and represent it alongside this Research Handbook on Childhoodnature.
Book Synopsis Kindheiten, Gesellschaften by : Rita Braches-Chyrek
Download or read book Kindheiten, Gesellschaften written by Rita Braches-Chyrek and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die AutorInnen konzentrieren sich auf die gesellschaftliche Kontextuierung von Kindheit. Mit dieser Bezeichnung wird ein Spannungsverhältnis beschrieben: Wie können die vielfältigen Facetten und zentralen Zugänge in den wissenschaftlichen Diskursen zur Kindheitsforschung legitimiert werden? Zum einen wird die Untersuchung von Kindheiten in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Relationen, zum anderen die Analyse der gesellschaftlichen Bearbeitung dieses Verhältnisses vorgenommen. Der erste Band des Wuppertaler Forschungszentrums Kindheiten.Gesellschaften unternimmt eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme der aktuellen Zugänge zur neuen interdisziplinären Grundlegung der Kindheitsforschung. Kinder sind soziale Akteure. Daraus ergeben sich kinderpolitische wie kinderrechtliche Konsequenzen. Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses stehen daher Fragen nach den hetero genen Lebenswelten von Kindern, ihren Entwicklungs mög lichkeiten und Bedingungen des Aufwachsens. Ob und wie ist in der Rede von Akteurskompetenz von Kindern eine 'frühe' Zuschreibung von Verantwortung für Konstitutionsprozesse des Sozialen und zugleich eine 'Intensivierung' von Schutz und Kontrolle zu sehen? 'Neue' Bedingungen der Verwertung von Subjektivität im Postfordismus gehen damit einher.
Book Synopsis Education for Children with Disabilities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia by : Margarita Schiemer
Download or read book Education for Children with Disabilities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia written by Margarita Schiemer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book presents insights into the lived realities of children with disabilities in primary schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It examines specific cultural and societal characteristics of Ethiopia that influence the education of children with disabilities. The book presents findings drawn from interviews with, and participant observation of the schoolchildren, family members, teachers and other “experts”, and places these findings in a cultural-historical context. The multidimensional approach taken allows for, on the one hand, the provision of a historical grounding of the book, explaining the main historical junctures and their implications for education, and the discussion of the role of culture and society as barriers and facilitators of education. On the other hand, it gives the book a more personal angle, allowing the reader to gain insight into what it means to feel like a family, develop a sense of belonging, and tr ying to move toward educational equity.

Book Synopsis China's New Silk Road Dreams by : Noesselt Nele
Download or read book China's New Silk Road Dreams written by Noesselt Nele and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions compiled in this issue engage in critical evaluation of China's "New Silk Road initiative" ("Belt and Road Initiative" [BRI]) by focusing on the potential long-term political and economic effects and implications for Sino-EUropean and Sino-African relations. The authors take the launching of the BRI (October 2013) as a starting point for a general, theory-guided qualitative re-evaluation of the basic patterns of Chinese foreign relations and global interactions under the fifth generation of Chinese political leaders. In 2013, the Chinese state president, Xi Jinping, framed BRI as a global connectivity network consisting of a multitude of overland passages and maritime transportation corridors. Xi Jinping's report to the 19th Party Congress (2017) set the BRI as an anchor concept of China's fine-tuned foreign strategy in the 21st century.
Book Synopsis Children Born of War by : Sabine Lee
Download or read book Children Born of War written by Sabine Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents research from an international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral research project in which 15 doctoral researchers explored a range of issues related to the life-course experiences of children born of war in 20th-century conflicts. Children Born of War (CBOW), children fathered by foreign soldiers and born to local mothers during and after armed conflicts, have long been neglected in the research of the social consequences of war. Based on research projects completed under the auspices of the Horizon2020-funded international and interdisciplinary research and training network CHIBOW (www.chibow.org), this book examines the psychological and social impact of war on these children. It focusses on three separate but interrelated themes: firstly, it explores methodological and ethical issues related to research with war-affected populations in general and children born of war in particular. Secondly, it presents innovative historical research focussing specifically on geopolitical areas that have hitherto been unexplored; and thirdly, it addresses, from a psychological and psychiatric perspective, the challenges faced by children born of war in post-conflict communities, including stigmatisation, discrimination, within the significant context of identity formation when faced with contested memories of volatile post-war experiences. The book offers an insight into the social consequences of war for those children associated with the ‘enemy’ by virtue of their direct biological link.
